Vespasian as an Action Hero COTD

It's not often when surfing the web I come across a coin in trade and simply say "wow". This is one of those coins. Beyond doubt one of the biggest surprise purchases of the year.

Although heavily worn, this is one of those coins I will treasure and consider myself lucky for having obtained it.

Not sure how I missed this one but it looks like others have as well.

An amazing rarity!  Congrats on getting a tough coin.  I'm just upset I didn't see it first or it would be mine!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Two weeks later and I'm still mooning over this coin!
